We believe that the Government is liable to treat everybody’s religious sentiments with due respect. In accordance with this, Hindu Samhati sent a letter to the Hon’ble Chief Minister of West Bengal requesting her to ban slaughter and trade of beef throughout the State. It, further, requested to begin the process during the four days of Durga Puja, i.e. from 19th October to 22nd October, 2015, the greatest festival of Bengali Hindus. We requested the government to strictly conform to the West Bengal Animal Slaughter Control Act 1950 which was ruled by Supreme Court also.

Debtanu Bhattacharya, Secretary of Hindu Samhati, sent a letter to the Chief Minister of West Bengal, on 15th September 2015 requesting her to "ban slaughtering and transportation of cows and selling / mobilization of beef throughout the State of West Bengal immediately".
